1.3 Operation of the LaserCOMPACT
An air sampling pipe network collects air samples from a protected area. The VESDA integrated
aspirator draws air into the sampling pipes through a pipe inlet manifold. For further information
on air sampling pipe networks please see the Pipe Network Design and Installation Manuals.
Some of this air flows to the dual stage filter. The first stage air filter removes dust and dirt from
the sampled air and flows to the laser detector chamber to detect the presence of smoke.
